Motorola wants kids
to like math, science
SCHAUMBURG — The Motorola Foundation recently
announced a $3.5 million initiative to inspire children in the U.S.
— particularly girls and under-served minorities — to embrace
science and math at an early age. Any U.S. nonprofit group may apply for
an Innovation Generation grant, but priority will be awarded to creative
initiatives that draw students in grade and high schools closer to science and
math. Grant requests may range from $5,000 to $250,000 and the deadline to
apply is June 15. www.motorola.com/giving/innovationgeneration.
